CALLING ALL ROTARIANS!!
The Rotary Club of Joliet has made a commitment to support Rotarian Debra Condotti as Easter Seals conducts their annual Celebration of Giving Telethon. The event will be held on Saturday, April 14th at the Jacob Henry Mansion.
 
The Rotary Club of Joliet will have a VIP Team of 6 that will take pledges.  If you are interested in participating on our phone team please e-mail cmccarthy@tjhs.org immediately.  We will meet at the Mansion at 11:15 for training and be on air from noon to 1 p.m.
 
We will be collecting money from Rotarians at our April 3rd and April 10th lunch meetings.  We will take cash or checks.  Checks should be made out to Easter Seals. Our goal is to raise over $3000.00.  We have a friendly wager with the Kiwanis Club who believes that they will be able to raise more money than Joliet Rotary.
 
Your involvement will "Make a Difference" in the lives of individuals with disabilities. Thank you,
President Cheryl
